The ISP is probably giving away the cheapest ones it could find. It's external unit that can be hooked to the PC via either USB or Ethernet cable. I have it connected via Ethernet cable. I guess any external ADSL modem that connects to PC via Ethernet cable would work with Linux. Not sure about support for USB and internal versions. I think even on Windows you might need special drivers for those (while classic Ethernet connected work out of the box).
